The 1983 Idaho State Bengals football team represented Idaho State University in the 1983 NCAA Division I-AA football season. A charter member of the Big Sky Conference, the Bengals were led by first year head coach Jim Koetter and played their home games at the ASISU MiniDome, later renamed Holt Arena, an indoor venue on campus in Pocatello, Idaho.

After a disappointing season in 1982, the Bengals finished second in the Big Sky with a 5–2 record, and were 8–3 overall in the regular season. Led by senior quarterback Paul Peterson, ISU hosted the first round of the twelve-team I-AA playoffs, but lost to conference champion Nevada by seven points.
